• Wait 48 hours before bathing if FRONTLINE TOPSPOT drops have been applied.
• Scrub in Medicated Shampoo and leave on skin ten (10) minutes before rinsing. Repeat every 7-10-l4 day. Scrub in well–remember it is a skin problem–not a hair problem! Always Use COOL Water to decrease itching.
• Apply FRONTLINE TOPSPOT 48 Hours After Bath. Do NOT Bathe For 48 Hours AFTER Application For Best Long-Acting Results.
• Spray LIGHTLY with prescribed Coat Moisturizer once daily- rub in well. Don’t overuse. (Do NOT Apply 48 Hours Before Or After TOPSPOT Application)
• Give Antibiotics as directed by your veterinarian for skin infection.
• Apply FRONTLINE TOPSPOT once each month For Flea & Tick Control.
• Recheck in 14 days.
• Treat House and Yard at least once each month for flea control. House must be treated every 7 – 14 days for 6 weeks if a severe flea problem exist.
• Observe the s stool for any sign of tapeworms, which are spread by fleas. Tapeworms pass short, white segments in the stool which look similar to rice.
• Give fatty acid / zinc supplement as directed.
• Labs on thyroid function can be run in the clinic.
• Fungal culture results usually take 10-14 days.
• Notify the clinic if s condition recurs following treatment, if scratching continues for more than five (5) days, if skin appears infected, or your pet does not look healthy.
• Feed only HIGH QUALITY FOOD. PREMIUM foods often will solve the problem when food allergies are involved. LAMB & RICE DIETS works well in many cases involving food allergy.
